Component Specifications

Definition
A dual-function mechanical component that combines a precision drive nut for converting rotary motion into linear motion with an integrated motor mounting platform. This assembly provides rigid support for servo/stepper motors while maintaining precise alignment with lead screws or ball screws in automated carriage systems. Engineered for high-load applications with minimal deflection under dynamic forces.
Working Principle
The drive nut converts rotational motion from the motor into linear motion along the screw axis through threaded engagement. The motor mount provides structural support and maintains precise axial alignment between the motor shaft and drive screw, ensuring efficient power transmission while minimizing vibration and backlash.
Materials
High-strength aluminum alloy (6061-T6 or 7075-T6) for the mount body, hardened steel (AISI 4140 or 4340) for the drive nut insert, stainless steel fasteners (A2/A4 grade), with optional anodized or powder-coated finishes for corrosion resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Backlash ≤0.05mm
  • Load Capacity Dynamic: 500-2000N, Static: 1500-5000N
  • Accuracy Grade C5-C7 (ISO 3408)
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 1.6μm for mounting surfaces
  • Mounting Pattern NEMA 23/34 or IEC flange compatible
  • Temperature Range -20°C to +80°C
Standards
ISO 3408, DIN 69051, ISO 9001, ASME B5.48

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of motors are compatible with this mount?

Compatible with NEMA 23, NEMA 34, and IEC flange servo/stepper motors. Custom mounting patterns can be manufactured for specific motor models.

How is alignment maintained between motor and drive screw?

Precision machined surfaces with tight tolerances (typically ±0.02mm) ensure coaxial alignment. Some models include adjustable shims or eccentric bushings for fine-tuning.

What lubrication is required for the drive nut?

Pre-lubricated with PTFE or silicone-based grease. Regular maintenance with ISO VG 32-68 synthetic grease every 6-12 months depending on operating conditions.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
